Haunted Ebay Auction!
Had to share this with you - I think it would make a great episode of "A Haunting".
The auction is here
This is a nesting set of 2 haunted pots. The story behind them before I found them is unknown but they have sure made my life interesting while they have been here!! 6 Years ago during October we moved to this house. During the winter months all was normal and fine. At spring time we decided to plant a tree and my daughter volunteered to go in the back and dig a good deep hole for it. Half way through she started yelling she found something and was leaning over the hole pulling up pieces of old pottery. We all went out and carefully dug all around the area. After a bit of time we pulled up these two pots intact with no cracks. I cleaned them up and put them on my table because they look primitive and the finish is just so pretty. That's when we started have a bit of trouble.
A few months later I walked past my coffee cup cabinet and my fave cup just fall out and smashed on the floor. I went out and got some new ones and one by one over the next few months the cabinet door would just fall open and out would tumble a cup sometimes within inches of me. NEVER did a cup I didn't like much fly out only the big expensive ones that I loved. All the glasses in the house broke and had to be replaced with plastic. My lights either turned on and off or dimmed. Our T.V started turning its self on and off so often that I was afraid it had a short so I bought another T.V and that one did it as well. Our stuff started disappearing too. Car keys, clothes, books. Then we would find money all over the place. Pennies, nickels and dimes everywhere. Our cats would sit and " watch " something move through our house like they were watching a tennis game with no players. While the cats were watching something our dogs would come and stand around us sometimes barking as if they were protecting us.I never connected the pots to any problems because until recently I didn't believe in any spirit world or ghosts
During that first year our dogs had to be removed from their night crates they were raised sleeping in because of the ALL NIGHT barking. They had slept in their crates from the time they were puppies until they were a year old and suddenly they couldn't be in them anymore without unending crying and barking. I would come let them out at 4 AM after a LONG night of no sleep and instead of going outside they would all split up and get in our beds. ( pics of dogs on my me page) The strange thing is our cats actually did that as well so each bed in our house had a big dog in it and a cat at the same time.
Over the next few years other things started happening that upset us all. I woke up to a stale cherry tobacco smell. A couple times I woke up to a few drops of water being flicked in my face. My oldest daughter came racing down the stairs one night crying that there was a burned man in her room. She said he was burned all over his body and was standing in her room looking at her. This is rather WEIRD because the next week we were replacing drywall in the living room and found burned wood. When we had our furnace replaced the next month the man that put it in said our house had burned at some point. I guess it was before 1940 because that's when all the records to this house seem to end but it was built in 1920.
About a year after we moved in the knocking started. My daughters bed room is directly above ours. I would hear knocking like someone was actually knocking on the ceiling above my head. Unfortunately my daughter heard it too and said it was coming from her closet and it sounded to her like someone was knocking on the floor or wall in her closet. After a few nights of it my husband went looking for any explanation that could possibly be causing this annoying knocking. It would start at about 11 pm and go until about 3 AM. He couldn't find one.
Total we have 3 upstairs bed rooms. My youngest daughter will not sleep in her room or go upstairs alone. My middle daughter said she heard kids voices talking in her room one night but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Later she said she woke up and saw a little girl about 10 years old sitting in her room on the floor hiding by her desk. My daughter said she has seen her about 5 or 6 times. I believe I actually got a pic of the little girl in the very last pics of this auction (please see below). Tats when I felt like I couldn't handle anymore.
I found a guy that's supposed to be sensitive to this sort of thing. He went through our house and stayed for several hours. Asked a million questions and at the end pointed to the pots. He said 1 if not more spirits were attached to them. He picked them up and put them outside last month and this is the first time I have actually kept a coffee cup for more than 2 weeks.My lights and TV are not turning on and off anymore.Not all the problems have left since the pots went outside. Apparently we have at least 3 ghosts or what ever left but the problems in the living room and kitchen are gone with the pots. I have NO IDEA how there is room in this tiny house for anything but us!! If anyone has any suggestions about how to get rid of the rest of the the issues please feel free to let me know.
These pots will not come back in my house EVER. I thought of putting them back where I found them but I honestly want what ever this is OUT OUT OUT. If you are braver than me ( which isn't hard) you will enjoy them. They are heavy as heck!! There are no markings on them or stamps but they have been under 4 feet of soil for over 50 years too. There are no cracks so they can hold water. I used them for seasonal fruit and I liked the primitive look they gave my table scape. To me they resemble those Wats pots but I thought those had markings on the bottom.There are a couple chips but it adds to the charm in my opinion. The big one is 9 inches across and the little one is 7 inches across. Thanks so much for looking!!!!
Check out my ME page! To see where I get my items, Info about shipping and a bunch more.
These pics made me freak out a bit. My daughter was just clipping down some flower heads. We were playing around being silly and having some fun.After I took the pics and was looking through them I noticed that behind my daughter in the morning glory vines appeared to be someone watching us. There is nothing structural behind the fence the only thing in the pic should be fence and more green flower vines. I zoomed the pic in and saw the face of a little girl. I called my middle daughter down and asked if she could see anything strange in the pic without drawing attention to the area where I believed there is a face. She said " Yes! That's the little girl in my room"!
